I managed to keep my commitment of doing a podcast every day this month, but can I now do one every day until I complete the first draft of “Empress Of The Trees” by podcast 200?

A brief update on the progress of chapter 35 and when I hope to finish it.

I haven’t done any writing since yesterday as I’m working today - flying to Philadelphia - so here is a general update on all of my projects.

Welcome to show 111, the same age Bilbo Baggins was when he left the Shire and handed over the ring to Frodo! Today I finished the first version of chapter 35 and hope to get it edited in the next few days…

I detail the work I’ve done today on chapter 35 of “Empress Of The Trees” and explain what I will do tomorrow to complete the first version of this chapter.

How I plan to complete Chapter 35 in the next week.

I look at the chart I chose at random yesterday using an AI, and compare how much British music is in that Top 40 from 1981 compared to how much British music is in this week’s Top 40 in 2024. I was staggered by the results.

I talk about how I compile my British artists singles top 40, and about what a tiny percentage of the chart is made up of British artists. I also promise to do a comparison of a week from the 1980s (in a future podcast) to see if there genuinely are less British songs in the charts or if it just feels like it…

Literally all I’ve done is worked today and I need to go to sleep because I have to get up at 2 am for a flight tomorrow! So here’s me chatting about some TV for a bit!

I tell you about how my last couple of days have gone and why I have not done any writing today.
